Succession
Alder Lake Meteor Lake

Raptor Lake (RPL) is Intel's successor to Alder Lake, an enhanced Intel 7-process based microarchitecture for mainstream workstations, desktops, and mobile devices. The microarchitecture was developed by Intel's R&D center (IDC) in Haifa, Israel.

For desktop and mobile, Alder Lake is branded as 13th Generation Intel Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, and Core i9 processors.

Process Technology

Raptor Lake is fabricated on an enhanced version of the Intel 7 process. Internally it’s sometimes referred to as "Intel 7 Ultra", the company's 3rd generation SuperFin Transistor architecture. The enhanced node shifts the V-F curve enough to allow a significant reduction in voltage at ISO-frequency or, alternatively, a few 100 MHz improvement in frequency at ISO-voltage.
